'That's my story. My journeying is over. I am eighty-four and my next trek will be through the stars to the great beyond, where I hope to meet again those I knew in my wanderings down here. If the humour takes us and there's a playwright handy, Hilton Edwards or the Abbey's Frank Dermody may be tempted to direct a show in some celestial alhambra, where angels with folded wings will sit in the stalls, applaud politely and maybe come round after and say, 'That was great!'

Marino Books

This is the autobiography of actor, storyteller and seanchai, Eamon Kelly. It takes its title from the fact that the young Kelly was apprenticed to his father, a wheelwright and master craftsman. The book recreates an area, the Sliabh Luachra area east of Killarney, a family life and a culture that co-existed with dramatic political events: World War I, the War of Independence and the Civil War. It also provides a glimpse into the mind and emotions of a gifted artist, as he grew to maturity.
